A glucose tolerant β-glucosidase from a newly isolated Neofusicoccum parvum strain F7: production, purification, and characterization.

ABSTRACT: Cellulase-producing microorganisms produce low titres of β-glucosidases with low tolerance to glucose. This study aimed to improve production, purify, and characterize a β-glucosidase from a newly isolated Neofusicoccum parvum strain F7. β-Glucosidase production was significantly enhanced by a sequential statistical modelling approach from 1.5-fold in Plackett-Burman design to 2.5 U/ml in the Box-Behnken design compared to the preliminary one variable at a time experiments (1.6 U/ml). The optimal conditions for enzyme production by BBD were 12 days of fermentation at 20 °C, 175 rpm, 0.5% glycerol and 1.5% casein in pH 6.0 buffer. Three β-glucosidase isoforms referred to as Bgl1, Bgl2, Bgl3 were purified and characterized from the optimized crude extract displaying IC₅₀ values of
